At the start of April, volunteers selected for the new Core Groups and for the mentoring and Gender Equality, Men and Boys project teams gathered in Brussels for a lively training and briefing and to begin work on some challenging but exciting assignments

Briefing and training on the Region and its diversity, the Regional Membership Development Strategy and its implications for the work of the Region, representing the Region, WAGGGS policies, approaches and specific training for mentors, all got creative juices flowing. Participants also contributed to initial discussions on the development of a Volunteering Policy, which will be developed over the coming months. In the second half of the meeting, volunteers worked on specific projects and assignments in the areas of mentoring, training and advocacy/communication.
